<p>My son’s school requires a 3.0 cumulative at end of each school year. Seems very reasonable and no issues so far, even for the engineering kids. On the other hand, we know several very bright and hard working kids in STEM at GaTech who are reportedly struggling with the Hope Scholarship GPA requirement (3.0 (regular) or 3.3 (ZMiller) at end of each year). </p>
